Delhi: In the 51st match of IPL 2025 played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Titans (GT) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 38 runs to strengthen its position in the top two places in the points table.

B Sai Sudarshan also gave a fast start by scoring 48 runs in just 23 balls. Although fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat bowled brilliantly in the last over for SRH and took 3 wickets for 35 runs, but GT scored a big score of 224 runs for 6 wickets.

Chasing the target of 225 runs, SRH never appeared under control. However, Abhishek Sharma played a stormy innings of 74 runs in 41 balls, including 6 sixes and 4 fours. He also shared a 50 -run partnership with Heinrich Klassen, which once raised SRH's hopes.

But the turning point of the match came when Abhishek tried to bridge Ishant Sharma's short ball and Mohammad Siraj caught him on Deep Square leg. This wicket turned SRH's expectations and he could score only 186 runs for 6 wickets.
